abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study circulation of influenza A viruses in western part of Mongolia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Isolation and characterization of influenza viruses was performed according to recommendations of WHO.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Circulation of influenza A viruses subtypes H3N6, H4N6, H1N1, H13N8 in different wild bird species in western part of Mongolia was documented.
